Alaska Division
Office for Law Enforcement

With over 900,000 square miles of open water and 33,000 miles of coastline, the Special Agents and Enforcement Officers of the Alaska Enforcement Division (AKD) have federal jurisdiction over the largest coastline of any state.

In Alaska, Special Agents and Enforcement Officers both conduct patrols and investigations.

Known for well-managed fisheries with complicated allocation schemes, the AKD continues to oversee one of the richest yielding fisheries in the world.

Known as the "training ground for the OLE", over 27 special agents and enforcement officers now working outside of Alaska had their start in this treacherous and adventurous environment.

The Alaska Division (AED / AKD) is comprised solely of Alaska.
